Such is the size of the fracture, my consultant has warned me of the significant risk of "osteonecrosis of the humeral head" which means that the reattached portion of the bone will not rejoin, and will "die", leaving me with arthritis and the prospect of a shoulder replacement in my early 40s.</p> <p>So hack me this: What dietary (or supplemental) adjustments can I make to give me the best possible chance of healing my broken bones?</p> <p>I've never tried it before, but I think that bone broth is probably a no-brainer (surely the best way to get lots of bone building minerals).</p> <p>But what about low-carb and IF. I've recently been following a &lt;25g a day leangains type thing (to control my T2 diabetes). Is there any truth that low-carb diets are non-ideal for bone health? I' m scared that keeping myself in ketosis (which is essentially a starvation state) is not going to encourage my body to repair itself...</p> <p><img src="http://i.imm.io/Q4vl.jpeg" alt="non-Paleo shoulder injury"></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/183616/any-one-good-with-cholesterol-numbers/183621#183621 Answer by borofergie for Any one good with cholesterol numbers? borofergie 2013-03-06T13:11:50Z 2013-03-06T13:11:50Z <p>Good luck with defining a "good" cholesterol number.

Is eating carnivores Paleo?</p> <p>Off the top of my head I think of dogs (Koreans) and snakes (in parts of the mid-west and Asia), but even when they do appear, I think they tend to be speciality dishes rather than staples (although that might just be my ignorance).</p> <p>Is it because we evolved to eat things that didn't bite back? I can believe that is partially true, but there must have been opportunities to wing the occaisional carnivore and take it home for supper.</p> <p>Is it a neolithic remnant? It must be easier to farm herbivores than livestock that were liable to eat each other or require a constant supply of live food.</p> <p>Or is it a biomagnification thing? But then aren't things like mercury pollution modern concerns? Would they have been such a big problem for our ancestors?</p> <p>I'm not sure if it's apocryphal, but won't eating the livers of carnivores (such as polar bears or alligators) give you Vitamin A poisining? That seems to be a clear indication that we haven't evolved to eat them.</p> <p>What would happen if I completely replaced the ruminants in my diet with the meat from carnivores? Would it have a deleterious affect on my health?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/174611/how-to-get-massive-amounts-of-carbs-without-eating-potatoes-and-grains/174614#174614 Answer by borofergie for How to get massive amounts of carbs without eating potatoes and grains borofergie 2013-01-19T21:06:01Z 2013-01-19T22:20:21Z <p>If you are going to rule out "Paleo carbohydrates" (starchy root veg), then I'm not sure just how Paleo eating "massive" amounts of carbs is.</p> <p>You could try eating 30 bananas a day I suppose.

In my case I was having to rotate through all the local drugstores to get my hands on enough canestan to make my life bearable.</p> <p>Within days of going very-low-carb it cleared up for good.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/171771/is-rdi-3000cal-accurate/174218#174218 Answer by borofergie for Is RDI 3000cal accurate? borofergie 2013-01-18T11:52:07Z 2013-01-18T11:52:07Z <p>You need to eat more food...</p> <p>If you were 5ft7 and weighed 120lbs (ie small and slim) your Basal Metabolic Rate would be about 14000kcal, so you'd expend that much by lying in bed and breathing.</p> <p>You can calculate your BMR using your height and weight <a href="http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>Once you've got your BMR you need to adjust it based on your activity levels:</p> <ul> <li><strong>sedentary</strong> (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2</li> <li><strong>lightly active</strong> (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375</li> <li><strong>moderatetely active</strong> (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55</li> <li><strong>very active</strong> (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725</li> <li><strong>extra active</strong> (very hard exercise/sports &amp; physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9</li> </ul> <p>So even the little dude we described above would be burning ~2500kcal a day lugging boxes all day. If you are a big strapping lad, I'm sure you'll burn much more.</p> <p>Obviously these are only estimates (although calorimeter studies show that they vary little from person to person), but they show you that 1400kcal is completely unsustainable (unless you are extremely obese).</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/173177/what-have-you-learnt-personally-n1-from-your-paleo-experience/173273#173273 Answer by borofergie for What have you learnt (personally, n=1) from your Paleo experience? borofergie 2013-01-14T18:49:28Z 2013-01-15T13:51:22Z <p>On March 20th 2011, I discovered that I had T2 diabete. </p> <p>At that time:</p> <ol> <li>I weighed 310lbs</li> <li>Had a HbA1c of 10.2%</li> <li>Couldn't feel any of my toes (neuropathy)</li> <li>Shit my brains out at a sniff of carbohydrate.</li> <li>Had constant Sleep Apnea</li> <li>Had a broken penis (through balanitis)</li> </ol> <p>22 months of VLC Paleo (&lt;25g a day).</p> <p>By January 14th 2012:</p> <ol> <li>I weigh 240lbs (-70lbs)</li> <li>My HbA1c is 4.9% (better than most non-diabetics)</li> <li>Have run 3 half marathons on fully sensitive toes</li> <li>No longer suffer from any GI issues</li> <li>Sleep all night, every night, without even snoring</li> <li>Have a fully functioning (and magnificent) penis.</li> </ol> <p>Put simply VLC Paleo saved my fucking life.

The least harmful of these is <i>de novo lipogenesis</i> in which your liver will convert the excess carb to saturated fat. Jaminet argues, that if you're better off eating fat directly, than converting carbohydrates to fat. This is because the lipogenesis process is very slow, and causes hyperglycemia as the carbs are slowly converted to fat.</p> <p>Jaminet, Harris, and Sissons all come up with different arguments for about 150g a day of carbohydrate as a reasonable maximum. In my own work with T2 diabetics I've also seen that 150g is about the maximum any diabetic can eat without suffering extreme hyperglycemia (most diabetics can eat far less).</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/172976/bladder-infection/173022#173022 Answer by borofergie for bladder infection borofergie 2013-01-13T14:21:22Z 2013-01-13T14:21:22Z <p>Me too. When my Doctor spotted ketones in my urine as a newly diagnosed T2 diabetic, he threw a wobbly, and I gotted dragged to the diabetes centre and told to "prepare for a night or two in hospital". After an hour or two of interrogation, they realised that these were diet induced ketones, and sent me home with some finger wagging.</p> <p>They just don't understand. The're confusing ketosis with ketoacidosis. The two things are completely unrelated.</p> <p>Unless you are a T1 diabetc, or you are a serious alcoholic, ketones are nothing to worry about.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/172555/is-the-cico-model-broken/172564#172564 Answer by borofergie for Is the CICO model broken? borofergie 2013-01-11T10:31:23Z 2013-01-11T10:31:23Z <p>The CICO is absolutely true, it has to be, the First Law of Thermodynamics says it must be true. That's why it's called a "Law". Nobody sensible disputes this, not even Gary Taubes. It's also almost entirely irrelevant: it tells you HOW people get fat, but gives us no information about WHY people get fat. </p> <p>This is what Taubes has to say:</p> <p><em>"Say instead of talking about why fat tissue accumulates too much energy, we want to know why a particular restaurant gets so crowded. Now the energy we’re talking about is contained in entire people rather than just the fat in their fat tissue. Ten people contain so much energy; eleven people contain more, etc.. So what we want to know is why this restaurant is crowded and so over-stuffed with energy (i.e., people) and maybe why some other restaurant down the block has remained relatively empty — lean."</em></p> <p><em>"<strong>If you asked me this question — why did this restaurant get crowded? — and I said, well, the restaurant got crowded (it got overstuffed with energy) because more people entered the restaurant than left it, you’d probably think I was being a wise guy or an idiot.</strong> (If I worked for the World Health Organization, I’d tell you that “the fundamental cause of the crowded restaurant <strong>is an energy imbalance between people entering on one hand, and people exiting on the other hand.”) Of course, more people entered than left, you’d say. That’s obvious.

Yes, I believe in the laws of thermodynamics and I believe, as I say in both my books, they always hold true. That’s why we call them laws. But, no, I do not believe that we can learn anything useful about why people get fat or why they get the diseases that associate with getting fat, by focusing on the calories they consume and expend. It’s not about the calories"</em></p> <p>His point is that the First Law tells you HOW fat accumulates, it doesn't tell you WHY. Taubes thinks that the answer to the "WHY" question is mainly down to hormonal reaction to carbohydrate.</p> <p>I wish we could just get past the whole "a calorie is not a calorie" thing.
